I meet Matt one summer when this little 6th grade boy just started follow me around city park pool. So after a few days we became friends. School started in the fall and here to find out he ended up going to the same middle school I already attended. So our friendship grew. I have stories all through then up to high school that are dear to my heart. We lost touch and got back in touch when my oldest was in elementary school. Then we lost touch a few years later so it breaks my heart to see this. He was very loved by everyone who knew him and never judged or had a bad bone in his body. He will always be remembered by everyone who knew him and loved.

I didn´t done that for long, but he made a lasting memory for me. I´d love to tease him and call Bubba. He got a kick out of it. He always seem to make me laugh. He will be missed the good ones always seem to go to early.

I'm devastated to hear about this. I was friends with Matt from 7th. grade through High-school. Too many great memories to name. A lot I just can't mention cause they wouldn't be appropriate. But we had a lot of fun!!! 1 of the best things I can say....Is Matt got me my first job with him. Washing dishes together at Murdochs Restaurant. We lost touch after school like most do. But in a funny coincidence, years later I worked with his Mom Daphne who was just as great of a person as Matt. Matt was also my name opposite. He was Matthew Ryan and I am Ryan Matthew. Prayers to all his family and friends!!! We all lost a great human being. God Bless!!!
